Grades
As grades become available for the mid-term and the end of the semester, students are able to access through Banner Web. If a grade is unavailable at the initial check, continue to check on a regular basis. Once all grades have been reported students will retrieve their grade point averages and academic standing through the web. Please note that grade reports, academic probation/suspension/dismissal letters are not mailed, your status is available online. Academic Suspension/Academic Dismissal will not be waived due to a student’s lack of knowledge of his or her standing. It is the responsibility of the student to know his or her academic standing, which can be accessed via Banner Web. Students who fail to check their grades or academic status are not exempt by not knowing. An academic appeal is not in conjunction with a financial aid appeal. You may retrieve a copy of the financial aid appeal from the FVSU Website or for additional details please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 478-825-6363.

Registration
A Dynamic Schedule is available on the Registrar’s webpage each semester. Classes are scheduled at a wide variety of times during the day, evening and weekends. Every effort is made to implement the current and future schedules as published, but circumstances such as staffing, funding, enrollment, and program changes may result in the cancellation of courses. The university reserves the right to cancel courses before and after registration.
Students registering in online courses must be admitted to the university. Students must seek approval from their academic advisor in order to register in online courses.
